Abstract
The knowledge of reproductive physiology of bitch in estrus cycle is important for animal management and to determine the reproductive potential of animals. For that purpose exfoliative vaginal cytology in bitches can be used by practioners to know the proper stage of reproductive cycle, disease condition of genital tract and also useful in determination of optimum mating timingin bitches, present case report suggests the optimum timing of service for excellent conception rate in bitches.
